Sobre este artículo
London: William Heinemann, 1946. 1st. hardback. Very good, 1st edition, no d/j, text block firm, thick pages unmarked with colours bright; some foxing; all edges gilt.. 12mo (190 x 130 / 7_"" x 5""). Maugham found a parallel to the turmoil of his own times in the duplicity, intrigue and sensuality of the Italian Renaissance. Then and Now enters the world of Machiavelli, and covers three important months in the career of that crafty politician, worldly seducer and high priest of schemers.
